Also, now I find I only receive mail from myself (administrator of the
server).
When I, say, try to send from this email at gmx.com,
I get a message saying that gmx contacted my server, but was refused
with:
Must issue a STARTTLS command first.
Now, I have successfully installed squirrelmail, and I see this very
same thing when I try to send a message from the webmail, too.
(Must issue a STARTTLS command).
When I try to send from that acct from mutt, I only get the
Sasl authentication failed
message.
